2 Chicken dinners (lunch 4 pcs) w/ fries, Cole slaw & bread were good, fast delivery and reasonable prices mean I will definitely order again!

The maple bacon shake and cheese curds omelet are life changers.

My wife and I stopped at Late’s for lunch around 4PM or so earlier today. When we arrived, we were the only customers inside. Neither of the women behind the counter area acknowledged us in any way. We sat down at a table and the younger of the two women came over a few minutes later. I ordered a soda and my wife went with water. When the server came back with our drinks, my wife ordered a plain hamburger and fries, along with an order of cheese curds for us to split. I ordered the Two Piece Lunch, which was broasted chicken along with fries and coleslaw. We were warned that the chicken could take 15-20 minutes. I told her that wasn’t a problem.

About 10 minutes later, I could see one of the cooks put two small baskets on the back counter. The server milled about the area for quite a while before she finally grabbed one of them and brought it to our table. It was a basket of fries that apparently went with my wife’s burger, which arrived several minutes later. She also brought my plate and the cheese curds at that point.

My wife’s burger was thin and tasteless. The fries were undercooked. The cheese curds were meh. My chicken consisted of the smallest leg and thigh I’ve ever seen.

The server never checked in with us until I finally flagged her down to get to-go containers after we’d finished eating. No receipt, she just rattled off a total that I’m hoping was at least somewhat accurate. Now to be fair, they had a few takeout customers show up while we were eating, as well as a couple of guys at the counter. But between two servers and at least three guys in the kitchen, I’d hardly call it any sort of rush.

I’m honestly baffled at all of the positive reviews. They’re the reason we decided to stop at Late’s in the first place. Maybe they were just having a bad day, but we won’t be back. Quite honestly, it was one of the worst restaurant experiences we’ve had in years.

A bit dated but who cares if you want a good soup .decent burgers and a nice coffee . Get a double burger if you want somethi g with subtance .patties are very thin but still ok . Fries are ok also but i have yet to find great fries in manitowoc everything around here that ive tried taste like they are frozen fries sadly . But for a good diner with decent food ,this place has it ! I will be going again to try other things on the menu . Did i mention good prices also.

Friendly staff. Fair prices. Food was ok. Not a fan of the onion ring batter or the cheese curds. A lot of nostalgia here.

I never had a problem with late s but today The young waitress who was working there today was pretty rude snatching my money just out of my hand and I don't think she deserved the tip. Maybe you need to see and who you're hiring
